Betsey - Wise words indeed and you may be exactly correct (I am hoping you are at least) as to why she isn't available for a date. Her actions during our last two outings did not reflect someone who wasn't interested in me that is for sure. So I will take my chill pill, pull back and wait.

I also know you are too. Why don't you plan something totally off the wall with your girls or a couple good friends? And if nobody can schedule time on Thursday, how about all weekend long?
Thank you for the birthday wishes!! So it's not so much that I am into big birthday celebrations, I just look at it as another year older and another year without a permanent partner in crime to experience life with. My first birthday without a significant other was the big 5-0 so now I am almost half way through this decade and before I know it will be staring down at the big 6-0! My girls will be with their mom on Thursday (they are actually going to a halloween party at a friends house). However I do have an offer from Marianne to spend my birthday out celebrating with her. I initially said ok but now I'm trying to figure out if I want to do that or not. Seems a bit outside our recently established "friend zone" but these boundaries we've established are still a bit new with some occasional flirting based on our past thrown in - although there was definitely a lot less of that the last time we got together, especially on my end. What do you think?
